Staff was very nice and regularly checked up on our table. Food was superrrr good and in my opinion better than mission bbq. I had the sampler and would get it again.

A hidden GEM in NEPA. Definitely the best BBQ I've had in 20 years. The true definition of a mom and pop shop. Pulled Pork, Po Boys, 'Cant Beat my meatloaf', smoked chickens, racks of ribs, stuffed cherry peppers, housemade sauces and more. Smoked to perfection, seasoned with love, and served with passion.

Pennsylvania, not a state that i would normally associate with barbeque at all. Let alone, REAL TEXAS STYLE BBQ! Whaaat?! I think I'm still in a bit of shock. What an excellent meal. Homemade mac and cheese, pork bbq beans, sweet glazed beef ribs (dry rub available) and BIG Texas Twinkies (that'd be cream cheese filled, bacon wrapped, jalapeno popping goodness to the un-initiated out there). Had a local brewed raspberry beer from Susquehanna brewery. Never had it's like before and it was very refreshing. The barbeque is cooked fresh on the grill early each morning. There's a patio area on an upper deck for seating if the mood takes you, or seating inside as well. Very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful view. Eat in or carry out. I stayed and enjoyed the heck out of my meal. Took some to go, and couldn't resist buying my own shirt with the ButcherBob slogan. A couple slots alongside the main road to pull up out front in a 53' Truck. So cool. Glad i stopped. There's hope for Pennsylvania yet. Good luck to Bob and crew in spreading that dog gone good BBQ!

The food here was fantastic. Absolutely delicious from appetizers to entree. We started off with the burnt ends and bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers while sipping some Susquehanna Brewing Co. beers. I had the Can't beat my Meatloaf sandwich with the smoked fries and smoked mac 'n cheese. The Meatloaf was spectacular with three different smoked meats and perfectly seasoned. The smoked fries with their seasoning could hold up on their own or with ketchup or ranch, and the smoked Mac was great as well. Service was quick and friendly and all of our food cane out hot. Also sampled their house made beef jerky and immediately bought a bag when paying the bill. This is a must visit for bbq lovers and I say that after frequenting some of the best in VA where we're from. The owner said their food is made with a lot of love and it's clear to taste!

Amazing. I don't know why I haven't tried Bobs before now. Had the Po-Boy, pulled pork with slaw on Texas toast. Was like it just came off the smoker. Juicy and delicious. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. Reminded me of being in Georgia, true, real BBQ.

The first thing I want to say is any bad review I saw on here seems like it was posted by people who let their food get cold after a long drive or people who may just not like Texas style BBQ. Everything from dine in to catering has been fantastic in my 2 experiences with Butcher Bobs. Before talking about the food, Bob's customer service and hospitality is an 11/10. He really knows what he is talking about and walks you through every step of catering your event. The pulled pork, brisket, ribs, mac and cheese, coleslaw, beans, and corn bread are all a 10/10. If you don't like them then it is PREFERENCE, or you just don't like Texas style BBW. Quality ingredients, properly prepared food, and excellent customer service. I will recommend dine in and catering to anyone I know. Thanks Butcher Bob!

You Need To Know? If you like BBQ, if you like smoked meats, then you absolutely MUST try Butcher Bob's! We arrived around 6:00 on a friday & we were able to seat ourselves. We ordered the Brunswick Stew, Burnt ends, a brisket cheesesteak, & 1/2 rack of ribs. The burnt ends also known as BBQ Candy was mouth watering & melted in your mouth. The rack of ribs were juicy & great with just the rub, but when you add one of the 7 sauces it takes it to an entirely new level. The Stew was a winter warmer. It's hearty & filling & can serve as a meal. I would also like to add that the service from Amanda was as sweet as the BBQ sauce. She was so kind & helpful, her hospitality added to the southern BBQ vibe. Mt Top people need to become regulars! Now You Know! -TBH

From meeting the owner to Samantha our waitress, what a fabulous place! The barbecue we had the combination plater, And Bob himself brought out some burnt tips. Amazing they are to die for. Wow! What experience the chicken had smoked flavor through and through the ribs, Fabulous smoked on site. Everything was fresh and hot service was fabulous. The beers were ice cold and frosted mugs. No complaints here for the price. Really worth every nickel for surviving through the covid pandemic. His little place is a classic and if you're looking for the realest barbecue that you can find in Pennsylvania come to this place, definitely worth it! And we drove all the way from Wisconsin to enjoy this!
